RAM Icon be STILL!!!
« on: March 01, 2011, 09:04:43 PM »
How do I prevent the RAM icon from being moved about by external devices? It seems that in both WorkBench and MorphOS, when ever I boot up with an external device plugged in, that it wants to be king of the mountain and shifts the RAM icon to the bottom or the right.

How do I prevent this?

Hmm...lots of choice. Not sure this will work on 3.x, but worth a shot.
(1)Snapshot
(2)copy the RAM:disk.info file to ENVARC:Sys/def_ramdisk.info

You can snapshot your RAM icon as instructed above. I have one more tip: mount your CD-Rom drivers 'manually' (from Storage: ) AFTER c:loadwb. this way they dont mess up your static icons.

Oh yeah, don't do devs: dosdriver folder, too early. You could also throw your CDX: DOS driver into WB-Startup too... think that would have the same effect...

And slit my wrists while I'm at it.

Actually, I'm still trying to figure out how to add a RAM drive to Windows. I can pull it off in DOS, but not Windows.

Well the first suggestion does not stop the RAM icon from being tossed around. I don't have a CD-ROM on my real Amigas, but I'll mess with the devs and see about loading my PCMCIA card at a later time.

Where would you suggest putting this in the Startup-Sequence in this case?

Browse to SYS:Prefs/ENV-archive/sys and move def_CD0 to desired position --> snapshot --> reboot

I think I had a little script that copied my Ram.info to Ram:disk. info in my user-startup when using OS 3.1.

can only tell you what works for me:

copy hd1:s/disk.info ram:disk.info

before the assign: stuff in startup-sequence, and

c:mount >NIL: hd1:storage/dosdrivers/cd0

after the c:loadwb command

should work fine..

and then you need to add the following to your user-startup :
